You will receive an email as soon as Bamboo Tea Ladle (Chashaku) is back in stock.
The chashaku is a bamboo tea ladle used for scooping and measuring matcha powder.
The chashaku is a ladle or a scoop designed specifically for matcha. Its curved tip and its sharp, nearly 90-degree angle help us reach into narrow matcha containers and pull out the right amount of powder. It also feels nice to use, as the bamboo material is soft to the touch.
Each is meticulously carved and shaped from one piece of bamboo. Since bamboo is a natural material, the appearance and shape of each chashaku will slightly vary.
The chashaku is originally one of the traditional tools used in the matcha tea ceremony. Our version is a comfortable, functional one meant for daily use rather than rigid, formal ceremonies.
In a world where everything is done to precise measurement, making matcha with a chashaku is beautifully imprecise. For a classic serving of usucha (standard matcha), we measure one and a half heaping ladles of matcha powder, which is about 2 g. Some days, our measurements will be bigger, and some days, they will be smaller. We appreciate the unique beauty of each and every matcha drink that results.
Follow these tips to keep your Chashaku in optimal condition.
